摘要

背景:肌肉骨骼疾病,肌肉骨骼疾病,是影响生产力和工作表现的严重公共卫生问题。尽管肌肉骨骼疾病对身体和社会经济有影响,但在撒哈拉以南非洲和乌干达的护士中进行的研究很少。乌干达的护士工作量大,在资源极为有限的条件下工作,需要大量的体力和精神消耗,因此极易患肌肉骨骼疾病。本研究旨在评估穆拉戈医院护士中肌肉骨骼疾病的患病率及相关因素。目的:评估乌干达国家转诊医院穆拉戈医院护士肌肉骨骼疾病的患病率及其相关因素。方法:对来自穆拉戈国家转诊医院不同科室的266名受访者进行横断面描述性研究。访谈采用有效的问卷进行,数据输入使用Epi数据,并使用STATA 10.0进行分析。结果:穆拉戈医院护士肌肉骨骼疾病患病率为75%。最常见的肌肉骨骼疾病是腰痛,占58.7%,其次是膝关节疼痛,占38.5%。这些主要与工作相关和因素有关。结论:下背部和膝盖疼痛是穆拉戈医院护士最常见的肌肉骨骼疾病,主要是由于服务/工作相关因素和心理社会压力所致。尽管护士知识渊博,但护士的肌肉骨骼疾病预防应主要侧重于安全操作,需要更多关于知识和实践差距的研究。

Occupation Related Musculoskeletal Disorders among Nurses at the National Referral Hospital, Mulago in Uganda
Background: musculoskeletal disorders, musculoskeletal disorders, present a serious public health problem that affects productivity and work performance. Despite the physical and socioeconomic effects of musculoskeletal disorders, few studies have been carried out among nurses in Sub Saharan Africa and more so in Uganda. Nurses in Uganda are highly vulnerable to musculoskeletal disorders given the high workload and working under highly resource constrained conditions that demand a lot of physical and emotional exertion. This study aimed at assessing the prevalence and factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders among nurses at Mulago Hospital. Objective: To assess the prevalence and factors associated with musculoskeletal disorders among nurses working in Mulago Hospital the National Referral Hospital in Uganda. Methods: This was a cross sectional descriptive study of 266 respondents from different hospital departments within Mulago National Referral Hospital. Interviews were conducted using a validated questionnaire, data entry done using Epi data and analyzed using STATA 10.0. Results: The prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among nurses in Mulago hospital was 75%. Low back pain, 58.7% was the commonest musculoskeletal disorders, followed by knee pain, 38.5%. These were associated mainly with work related and factors. Conclusion: Low Back and Knee pain are the commonest musculoskeletal disorders among nurses at Mulago Hospital and are mainly attributed to service/ work related factors and psycho-social stress. Despite the nurses being knowledgeable, musculoskeletal disorders prevention among nurses should largely focus on safe practices and more research regarding the knowledge and practice gap is needed.
